OpenWorld 2015 on your smartphone and tablet - UPDATED!

Most of you probably know that each year I publish a data warehouse guide in iBook and PDF format for OpenWorld which contains links to the latest data warehouse videos, a list of the most important sessions along with hands-on labs and profiles of the key presenters. For this year’s conference I have again made all this information available in an HTML web app that (should) run on most smartphones and tablets. The picture below shows the app running on my desktop:
This year’s web app will help you get the most from this year’s conference. It includes the following:

Getting to know Database 12c - a series of video interviews with George Lumpkin, Vice President of Data Warehouse Product Management and links to information about Oracle’s Database Cloud

Your presenters - full biographies and links to social media sites for all the key data warehouse presenters

Must sees sessions - list of all the most important data warehouse presentations at this year’s conference

Must attend labs - list of all the most important data warehouse hands-on labs at this year’s conference

Links - a list of links to the most important data warehouse sites

Live Twitter - twitter feeds from our product management teams

Maps - some useful maps for the local area to help you get around the various conference locations, grab a coffee, get something to eat

OCT 12 - UPDATED: Added new sessions and incorporated some scheduled changes to existing sessions as well.
To run this web app on your smartphone/tablet follow this link: http://tinyurl.com/nhjmszzAndroid users: Last year when I tested this app on my Samsung S3 there was a bug in the way the Chrome browser displayed frames because scrolling did not work . This year I have swapped to an LG3 android phone and everything appears to be working correctly. However, if the app does not work as expected on your phone then try using either the Android version of the Opera browser.
If you have any comments about the app (content you would like to see) then please let me know. Enjoy OpenWorld.

This post covers one of the new SQL performance enhancements that we incorporated into Database 12c Release 2. All of these enhancements are completely automatic, i.e. transparent to the calling app/developer code/query. These features are enabled by default because who doesn’t want their queries running faster with zero code changes?

So in this post I am going to focus on the new In-Memory “cursor duration” temporary table feature. Let’s start by looking at cursor duration temp tables…Above image courtesy of wikimedia.org
What is a cursor duration temp table?
This is a feature that has been around for quite a long time. Cursor duration temporary tables (CDTs) are used to materialize intermediate results of a query to improve performance or to support complex multi step query execution. The following types of queries commonly use cursor duration temp tables:WITH Clause and parallel recursive WITHGrouping SetsStar TransformationFrequent Item Set CountingXLATE

MATCH_RECOGNIZE and predicates
At a recent user conference I had a question about when and how predicates are applied when using MATCH_RECOGNIZE so that’s the purpose of this blog post. Will this post cover everything you will ever need to know for this topic? Probably!
Where to start….the first thing to remember is that the table listed in the FROM clause of your SELECT statement acts as the input into the MATCH_RECOGNIZE pattern matching process and this raises the question about how and where are predicates actually applied. I briefly touched on this topic in part 1 of my deep dive series on MATCH_RECOGNIZE: SQL Pattern Matching Deep Dive - Part 1.
In that first post I looked at the position of predicates within the explain plan and their impact on sorting. In this post I am going to use the built in measures (MATCH_NUMBER and CLASSIFIER) to show the impact of applying predicates to the results that are returned.
First, if you need a quick refresher course in how to use the MATCH…
